Short stop in England

2012-09-29 16:43

Hello all sailor friends following us online!

After a few days of intense weather, we're now docked in Portsmouth, southern England, for a short stop. A very nice sailmaker named Stuart, who previously has worked in Swedish Smögen, is helping us with a small rip on our mizzen sail. Everything must be in perfect trim before the long stretch over the Bay of Biscay.

The mood among the crew reached a peak as everyone was able to shower and visit a café for a few hours. =)It's been raining and blowing hard for a whole week here, but today we have sunshine!

Although, already tomorrow another period of more autumn-like weather is coming in, so we plan to leave from here by this afternoon and go as far south as we can, as the forecast for the Biscay are good for the next few days.
